Magnolia Down Under Challenge DT - Texture

Woohooo!! Time for another challenge at Magnolia Down Under Challenges and this week our challenge is to add texture to your card - this could be corrugated card, felt, feathers - here are lots of ways to add texture! I have used some scrummy Magnolia papers for my card, inked with walnut stain distress ink.

I had to have a go at the no lines technique with a Tilda and I must say I really love this one - getting much better at it! I think Tilda is just perfect for this kind of colouring because she just looks sweet and delicate anyway so this style of colouring makes her even sweeter! I have coloured her with copics.

I added my texture in the form of some corrugated cardstock - actually a recycled coffee cup holder! which I have painted with pickett fence crackle paint. The flowers are from my stash and the leaves were cut with a doohickey die. I added a tulle bow and some lace too.

The gorgeous sentiment is by Stempelglede from the Just a Note set, stamped onto a doohickey tag die cut which I also painted with crackle paint.
